Set on a desirable Bayswater terrace moments from Hyde Park, this compact two-bedroom apartment offers Zone 1 convenience and strong rental appeal. The flat sits on the fourth floor of a handsome Grade II Victorian building and benefits from a very long lease of about 968 years — a meaningful ownership advantage for buyers and investors.
Internally the accommodation is efficiently arranged across approximately 536 sq ft with a contemporary, fitted kitchen and smart, well-lit rooms. The property’s period exterior and attractive elevation add kerb appeal while the apartment’s small footprint makes it straightforward to furnish for short- or long-term lets.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building is listed, which may affect alterations and repair obligations. There is no lift to the fourth floor. Annual running costs include a service charge of about £3,150 and ground rent of about £250. The area records higher local crime levels; however, transport links are excellent with Paddington and Lancaster Gate within a short walk, supporting strong tenant demand.
This property suits investors or compact-home seekers who prioritise central location and long-lease security over generous internal space. It offers immediate let-ready potential and long-term capital exposure in one of London’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, provided purchasers are comfortable with listed-building constraints and the fourth-floor access.
